Whats a better fish surfboard a retro twin fin or a postmodern tri fin board for everyday use?

Question

This is going to be my only board for everyday use. Im an alright surfer Ive owned a 6'6 fish and 8'0 longboard. I surf smaller waves. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

i like a longboard its really hard to do but its take time do it

Answer 2

If by "postmodern tri fin" you mean thruster then that is the way to go - and avoid using "art" terms for surf boards where possible.

Talk to your local board shops - mostly they are surfers and will let you know what are the best boards to be riding for your local conditions - all boards are designed for different waves and different conditions.

Cheers and keep surfin'

Answer 3

I say definitely go with the tri fin.  It's nice to have a retro board in your quiver, but I wouldn't use it for everyday use.  The progress that surfboard shapers and designers have made really have taken those little details of the surfboard shape to a new level.  Older boards don't have those details that give today's boards that high performance edge.

Answer 4

Definitely go with the fish.  You have all the advantages of a longboard (easy to paddle and catch lots of wave) with the advantages of a shortboard (good maneuverability and easy to carry around).  If you mainly surf smaller waves, a twin fin will suit you better.  With one less fin in the water than the tri-fin/thruster, you have less resistance.  This makes it easier to paddle and catch waves.  Take a look at 9:Fish Surfboards (www.9fishsurf.com).  All they do are fishes and have a bunch of different sizes.  I have a few of their fishes and they're awesome.

Answer 5

your first answer needs to try a short board if she thinks a long-board is hard the best fish for everyday use is a quad it rips nice tight bottom turns good for carving and wide and thick east to catch small local surf so cal
